"Drops" from Galleon, the world boss in Valley of the Four winds. It will automatically be put in your bags if you win it, as both Galleon and Sha of Anger use the updated LFR loot system.

One of the many desirable items that drops from the Rare Elite Galleon. Oh how I wish this guy shared loot with Sha of Anger or at least had a spawn timer closer to his :P. Then again.. he wouldn't be a 'Rare' now would he?

Not to mention you can even obtain a mount from him (Son of Galleon's Saddle) Which also happens to be the only mount that has it's own original skin and don't even come close to looking like any mounts currently in-game, Which in turn makes Galleon even more desirable to the average player!

Even though this isn't a tier item, and has no tier bonus, unlike the PvE items Sha drops, it still has some awesome stats and sockets. In my opinion it's a cut above Stormbreaker Chestguard which is crafted with Leatherwoking (600) from the recipe Pattern: Stormbreaker Chestguard which drops from any Normal or Heroic Mists of Pandaria Raid. If you can spare the gold or can obtain the crafting items then this might be the easiest to obtain for fast gear up.

Resto shamans would love the Red and Blue gem sockets of this item. Which the Stormbreaker Chestguard would be great for an Elemental shaman too no doubt :) (Or those Resto Shamans out there who love lots of haste!) But for me I welcome the extra Int and Spirit sockets over haste any day.

Could be an extra option for those who can't/ don't have the time to raid and wouldn't mind the extra item level boost over Robes of the Setting Sun (Golden Lotus Revered, 2,250 VP) or the crafted Lifekeeper's Robe which is also nice Pre-Tier gear :).
